If you weren't able to score tickets to the Studio show, you'll probably have an easier chance of grabbing some when The Hives return to the US for a string of East Coast dates in late June, including another stop in NYC at Terminal 5 on June 22nd. Tickets go on AMEX AND fan presale at noon on 4/25 (fan presale password = "lexhives") (sound familiar?) and regular sale on Friday (4/27) at noon.

In other news, The Hives appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (4/24 at midnight), and you can check out the band performing their new songs "Go Right Ahead" and Wait A Minute" from their forthcoming Lex Hives below alongside all tour dates and contest details....

--For a chance at winning a pair of tickets to see The Hives at The Studio at Webster Hall on Thursday (4/26): either tweet something that includes both @BrooklynVegan AND "The Hives at Studio" in the tweet, or send an email to BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM with the subject line "The Hives". Include your first and last name in the email. We'll pick winners at random and contact them with more details. If you enter by email, it will not be shared with anyone else. Good luck!

^^What is so strange about that 5:58? You don't know that there a lot of stupid folks out there with shitty and outdated taste in music. Have you read the comments on this blog before? The Bloc Party shows should just be held in Jersey cause most of the audience is coming from there.

"The Bloc Party shows should just be held in Jersey cause most of the audience is coming from there."

I seriously don't understand why people make comments like this. There are 8 million people in this city. Are you so moronic to think that ALL OF THEM have updated, trendy taste in music like you? Is there some sort of new law that requires New Yorkers to not have Bloc Party, The Strokes, The Killers, etc. on their iPods? The fuck does NJ have to do with this?

Unless you moved here because you thought it was exclusively a city for trendy douchebags such as yourself. Sorry....there are normal people who live here too.

...and it's absurd to me that people still latch onto the Strokes, given that they still have yet to put out an album nearly as good as their first (all albums thereafter have been mediocre at best).
The Hives have consistently put out good material, and are consistently a great live band.
